As King Charles III continues his battle against cancer, Buckingham Palace has shared touching messages from insightful children, highlighting their concerns on World Earth Day.
In a poignant display of solidarity, the royal family's social media platforms showcased heartfelt letters from children, urging King Charles to take action to safeguard their future. One particularly astute child expressed their worries about climate change and global warming.
The Palace accompanied the letters with a caption acknowledging the annual influx of correspondence from children eager to contribute to environmental conservation efforts: "Each year, The King receives thousands of letters from children and young people who want to get involved in saving our planet. We'd love to hear about what you and your families, friends, colleagues, and communities are doing to combat the damage caused by plastics to the environment - please share more in the comments."
Earlier in the day, the palace released a meaningful video featuring a cautionary message from King Charles, titled "Planet vs. Plastics." The video highlighted His Majesty's longstanding commitment to environmental advocacy, dating back to his warning on the dangers of plastic pollution issued at the age of 21 in 1970. Over the ensuing five decades, King Charles has utilized his influential platform to advocate for sustainable practices and a greener future.
These initiatives coincide with the royal family's observance of World Earth Day, commemorating the progress made by the environmental movement while emphasizing the ongoing need for collective action to address pressing environmental challenges.
